[1]Beto for America



John,



This isn’t a fundraising email, and we’re not writing to you about
tonight’s FEC deadline either. But it’s one of the most important emails
you’ll receive today.

At the Clint Border Facility in Clint, TX — just outside of El Paso — more
than 100 children are being detained in conditions so unsafe and inhumane
that it’s being called “a public health crisis.” Children caring for other
children, sleeping on concrete floors, and lacking the most basic care and
supplies like toothbrushes, soap, or beds. This is happening, right now,
in our nation’s name and under our government’s watch.

Conventional wisdom tells us that today we should be hosting big
fundraising events and making phone calls to donors. But this is a human
rights crisis that demands immediate action. These children deserve
respect, dignity, and humane living conditions. Moving them out of these
facilities quickly, providing them adequate shelter and support, and
uniting them with family members should be this administration’s immediate
priority.

That’s why Beto just held a rally outside of the facility with political
leaders and activists from all over the country to demand that this
mistreatment of children — as well as the separating of families and
indefinite detainment of immigrants — immediately end.

We’re asking you to make a donation — not to our campaign, but to the
Diocesan Migrant & Refugee Services of El Paso. They’re an incredible
organization that provides legal services for adults and unaccompanied
immigrant children in the local immigration detention centers and
shelters. 100% of your contribution will go to them. You can chip in here:

Last year, on Father’s Day, Beto led a march to raise awareness about the
mistreatment and detention of children at the Tornillo facility in El
Paso, where thousands of migrants were being detained. He continued to
return to the camp until all of the children were successfully released
and the facility was shut down.

This crisis in Clint, TX demands our attention now. And as the current
administration launches cruel attack after cruel attack upon immigrants,
asylum seekers, and children, we must continue to fight.

Thank you,

Team Beto
